The Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South Constituency, Samuel Atta Akyea, has criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC), accusing the party of losing touch with political realities and relying on spiritual gatherings for support.
Speaking at Asiakwa during the tour of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) running mate, Atta Akyea claimed the NDC had shifted away from its traditional political base and now seeks solace in religious prophecies.
Atta Akyea dismissed recent predictions from religious leaders that the NDC would win the 2024 elections, labeling them as mere human opinions rather than divine revelations.
He urged the public to place their faith in the democratic process, emphasising that elections are won through the will of the people, not by spiritual proclamations.
He encouraged Ghanaians to focus on pressing national issues such as the economy, education, and infrastructure when making political decisions.
Atta Akyea criticised the opposition for relying on spiritual interventions instead of presenting clear and actionable plans for the future of the country.
The MP also took a swipe at a prophet who, he claimed, had previously insulted former President John Mahama but is now declaring an NDC victory.
He questioned the credibility of such prophecies, suggesting they were deceptive and politically motivated.
Atta Akyea concluded by reminding Ghanaians that while spiritual leaders have a right to their opinions, democracy is ultimately about the choice of voters.
He urged the electorate to make informed decisions based on policies, not spiritual influence, in the upcoming elections.
"Elections are determined by the people’s votes, not by the words of prophets. The democratic process remains the legitimate way to choose our leaders," he stated.
